In 2016 the European Patent Office plans to recruit more than 200 engineers and scientists to work as patent examiners.
The engineers and scientists - drawn from over 30 different European countries - work at the cutting edge of technology, examining the latest inventions in every technical field in order to protect and promote innovation in Europe. Their daily work combines scientific expertise with analytical research and an eye for the legal aspects of intellectual property.
The deadline for applications is 25 April 2016 for The Hague and 2 May 2016 for Munich.
